St. Devenick

Flag of Scotland

St. Devenick, a fifth-century evangelist little known in the hagiology of
Christianity, is honoured in the counties of Caithness and Sutherland
(northern regions of Scotland) annually on November 13th.

He is buried at Banchory-Devenick, Scotland.

The majority of the MacKays and other Scots in North Colchester and Pictou
Counties of Nova Scotia are descendants of Highlanders who emigrated from
Caithness and Sutherland.
